Meet Gwen Clavon

Thanks to her technical prowess and willingness to explore new opportunities, after college Gwen embarked on a computer nerd’s dream career trajectory. Along the way, she has served as a civilian computer specialist for the U.S. Air Force, eventually becoming the tech advisor to that military branch’s chief information officer; she programmed at the National Science Foundation Network (NSFNet) team in collaboration with Tim Berners-Lee, Vint Cerf and Stephen Wolff; she sat on the architecture team of the CIA’s chief information officer and built geospatial tools; she was responsible for building out the software architecture for the Center for Mission Innovation; and she made career stops at several small and large companies as well, eventually becoming the chief operating officer of a startup cybersecurity company. Now, she leads Jacobs’ Cyber & Intelligence Solutions business unit, where all of the disciplines she has acquired along the way come together in one world-class vocation.

“I can see myself in every aspect of this business, including sitting on the customer side, supporting the Department of Defense and the Intelligence community, and supporting technologists, program managers and project managers,” says Gwen. “I’ve thought to myself, there’s no better way to come into an organization that's focused on disruption, innovation and technology than to be in the position where I've touched every aspect of the business from some level throughout my career.”
